[A8] 2004 A8L anything in particular to be aware of issues wise? Thoughts on below?

[Vincent Gelinas]

You want it to have been flushed. There is no true lifetime sealed trans so
if they haven't been flushed and serviced, they are prone to very expensive
failure. Check out the buyers guide on audipages.com and even though it's
for older a8s, a lot of the same things apply.
